“I’m just slowly landing into this room with you,” she told reporters, admitting that her award category was one of the last things on her mind. “I was so stressed out about hosting I couldn’t give it one second’s thought. [The win] was amazing and I’m so grateful. This is one of the best nights of my life!”

On being the first person of Asian descent to host the Globes, Oh says, “I’m so glad for them to have asked me. I’m aware of what that means.”

Having her parents present, and incorporating them into some of her jokes, made the evening all the sweeter. “They are amazing,” says Oh, who adds that she wanted to make her parents happy. “I’m so grateful they were able to come and that they were here.”

But Oh got a big reaction from the audience after she delivered an R-rated joke about how people sexually gratify themselves over three actors from This is Us — Justin Hartley, Chrissy Metz, and Sterling K. Brown – as she was introducing the trio of presenters.

“All I could think about was landing that joke the entire night,” Oh told TV Insider after the live broadcast on NBC. “That was my last joke of the night. There were things going on and I was standing there with that statue and all I was thinking of was that word and I gotta land it.”
